The second game in the "Tales of" series, with character design by Mutsumi Inomata. Like the first game "Tales of Phantasia" (SFC), the fighting sequences is half action-type and not the typical command selection.

The game was later released for the PS2.

Tales of Destiny had, unlike most other games in the Tales of series, a direct sequel in "Tales of Destiny 2" for the PS2.
